I think this was strictly about him wanting to expand his game for a potential bigger payday down the road. Obviously it wasn't about winning. The Clippers aren't going to do any damage in the playoffs. I can't blame a guy for wanting to shoot the ball more, but I wish he would have stayed.
I saw the same article, at least the same comments by DJJ.
I really liked the effort and intensity DJJ brought last season. It was a redemption year after his time in Chicago. But if LACs are expecting him to be PG13-lite, I think they are going to be disappointed.
DJJ will definitely bring individual defensive effort. but his offense was facilitated by playing with Luka and Kyrie. The open 3s and the soaring dunks were from playing off them rather than his own creation. So I expect him to continue strong defensively, but I would not be surprised to see him regress offensively.
